About Minitalia

What the range contains

The set names are plain and descriptive. House sets come in medium and large sizes, while the basic sets offer loose bricks for free building, including one aimed at pre-school children. Piece counts are moderate, ranging from under 100 to just over 300, which fits the simple, open-ended style of the period. For anyone interested in early brick history, the range shows how the same basic idea of houses and free building was offered in several sizes.

Largest sets and repeated names

The biggest entry is the Large House Set (5-4) from 1971 with 307 pieces. The same name appears again as 4-4 from 1970 with 218 pieces and as 15-2 from 1973 with 157. Medium House Set is also listed twice, as 3-6 with 158 pieces and 2-8 with 109, both from 1970. Among the basic sets are the Medium Basic Set (2-11, 1976, 130 pieces), the Small Basic Set (1-12, 1977, 94 pieces) and the Large Pre-School Basic Set (13-2, 1973, 92 pieces).
